John Proctor stooge or hero ?

I feel as though John Proctor is a hero. I feel as though he tried to lie to save his life but he was too much of a leader to do so. You know what they say " if you stand for nothing, you will fall for everything" .  So by sticking to his word that he was innocent and the girls in the court was lying, he was sticking by something he believed strongly about. I feel he was not only a hero for himself but for the people that couldn't. He was a leader for those that just confessed and blamed others to save their lives. I also feel as though he was a sacrifice for the community. Because after Rebecca Nurse, Martha Corey, and John Proctor were killed the community started to notice that maybe the court was getting out of hand. So in a sense this needed to happen to stop it. Even though his heroism wasn't noticed right away, it was for the better of the people afterwards. In addition, he gave up his life with his family. He had three sons and one expecting child. The three sons will remember their dad as an hero but the child that is not born yet would never know his/her dad.

There Goes the neighborhood

I feel when two or more groups come together either something good or bad is going to come out of it. In some cases there could be both positive and negative effects that comes out of the Union. The positive effects could be an exchange of goods, such as the Columbian exchange. The Natives introduced sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkins, peppers, pineapples, corn and etc. The Europeans also introduced the natives to grapes, citrus fruits, turnips, onions, sugar canes, bananas, and etc. Another positive effect could be a mix of both groups way of life to produce an even better way to go about things. For example, the Europeans introduced animals such as  horses, sheep, pigs, cattle, and honeybees. The animals that the Europeans brought over helped them get around faster and also helped with farming. In addition to the positive effects there are also could be negative effects such as spread of disease and conflict. Conflict could arise from disagreements about what is right and wrong in terms of running a society. The differences could cause one to feel superior to the other.

Me

I am Lonyae Johnson. I was born on July 21,2000. I can be very quiet when you first meet me but once you get to me its a whole different story. I will almost talk your ears off. For the most part I think  I am very funny.  I am currently striving to one day become a pediatrician. But I also am looking for a back up career just in case I decide to branch off that path. My favorite thing to do is eat. I like every and any kind of food. I've tried many types of food but there is still that I would like to taste. For example, I want to one day try Thai food. I also like styling hair. I enjoy curling, bantu knotting, wanding and flat ironing hair. My goal is to learn how to sew-in weave and braid with braiding hair. Reading isn't my favorite thing to do I am a math and science person.  My family isn't that big. I have three brothers and one sister. I am the youngest out of the bunch. I live with both my parents. I just recently, moved downtown in the South loop area. My weekends are usually filled with cheer practice, hanging out with friends, and baby-sitting my nieces and nephew.
